Civil War Bible - Treasure Chest Thursday

These photographs are just a few of the "treasures" we received from Dee, our new cousin discovered through Ancestry.

Seeing these inscriptions in a Civil War soldier's bible were the most amazing genealogy moments thus far. Here we have Charles Judd giving an address and father's name. That is where the pieces all fit together, Mathias Judd was my 3rd great grandfather. In the 1860 Baltimore City Directory we have the family residing at 20 Walker Street.

These photographs have linked many different strands together. We now have connected our ancestor with records during the Civil War and ultimately relocating to Sherman, Texas.

Again, I encourage reaching out and connecting! Never know when the simple act of sending an email will result in breaking through a brick wall!

About Me

Hello to the world of blogging! I work for our local public library and several years ago we had a technology initiative. One of our assignments was to create a blog. So here I am learning about genealogy and blogging at the same time. The goal is to learn something every day, connect to people with similar interests, and have fun along the way!
